The Mother
with Letters on the Mother

Reading the Mother's Conversations and Prières

I have a friend in Dacca to whom I want to send the Mother's Conversations and her Prières. This lady knows French, though she knows nothing about the Yoga or about you. If you think I may send the books—after seeing her photo—I shall send them.

The Prayers ought not to be given to anyone who is not practising Yoga. The "Conversations" are for those who are interested in Yoga.

When I read the Mother's Conversations or her Prières, I often feel as if I come in contact with her consciousness. If one read these two books constantly and thought about them alone, could one not make one's consciousness more and more intense till it becomes like Mother's? Of course, it might be only the mental that would be intensified and elevated, but perhaps by that intensity the vital and other parts of the being could pass beyond their usual condition.

It is possible to intensely identify oneself with the Mother's consciousness through what you read—in that case the result you speak of could come. It could also have an effect on the vital up to a certain point.
